Ahh bugger! I’d give Accurascale CS a call, anytime I’ve had to call they’ve always been spot on.

Another lovely model isn’t it! Got mine a couple of weeks ago, currently in the process of weathering it.

Westerleigh 17.12.2021 when the 60’s still ruled the tanks! On the left 60010 has arrived with 6B13 from Robeston and on the right 60054 which is getting ready to form up 6B41 to Robeston. I do miss these machines.

Hmmm, sounds like it could either be the bogie mounts or possibly (if it has one) some models have thin pieces of metal under the interior seats that act as weight that may have shifted to one side?

Can you level it up by hand or is it stuck like that?

Is there a chance that it’s the track and not the unit? Looking at the picture the rail under the coach dips a fair bit, have you had it on a level surface like a desk or window sill just to check?

Welcome to new followers! It's great to see this platform coming alive. Posts will contain trains, cake, photography, beer, and bikes. Not necessarily at the same time!

As it’s Sunday and quiet it’s be rude not to have a quick peek in the shed, 08451 in for some tlc before the new week starts. Thankfully the foreman and fitter were busy so I wasn’t seen.
